The Page of Cups represents a time when we need to step back and consider, to not look before we leap. Reversed it also represents troubles are coming and tests we need to deal with.

Emmie didn't want to go with Lucie McIntyre as she went looking in unlocked rooms at the Lakeside Hotel. When Emmie went away, Lucie kept up, entering the Lake Breeze Suite. In it, she spotted an ugly statue amid the beauty of the room. Then she heard a noise, causing her to scamper further in the suite. When she feels safe, she takes the statue and leaves, only to be almost caught by a man who walks towards the suite. He questions her moments later on whether or not she's seen someone. The man, Carl Henderson escorts her to the Beach Club.

They don't quite get there, but instead he kisses her. Again, he questions her if she's seen anything and Lucie denies knowing anything. There is something that makes her want to give back the statue, but even more, there's something undeniable between her and Carl. Things explode between them, but what about what he was asking her about- about anyone being in the suite, about a dark haired man?

Things get hectic when Lucie finds out the truth about who Carl is. What can she do? Does she want him back? Especially once he finds the statue in her handbag? Can he forgive her for lying?

Evelyn Starr has created a great story that leaves you hanging to find out what happens next. I can't tell you the ending, but know that you'll be like..."That's it?!" It's a good ending for the story, but enough to make you want to find Evelyn and beg for more. (This is a begging moment, be warned. LOL) Truly a unique and different feel, this story truly makes you take a moment to consider what you're doing and see if we're willing to face the troubles and make things work out.

SEVEN OF SWORDS - The Lone Wolf Returns

Author: Arianna Hart
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Available At: www.extasybooks.com

The Seven of Swords deals with running away from responsibility when you know you need to face the problems head on. Sometimes it means being a lone wolf, thinking that only you can solve the problem without help.

Max Logan was returning back to the same place he had left many years before. He hopes to crash at Kildare's Rest, a Bed and Breakfast that he often stayed at while growing up. When he gets there, it's run down and more. When he goes inside, he encounters Fiona Kildare.

Fiona needs help. Her contractor has bailed on her, with her money and she needs to get major renovations finished to the Rest before her customers come. When Max offers to do the renovations in exchange for room and board, she wants to say no. The man played havoc on her body and heart years ago, and she wasn't sure she could handle it again. But in the end, she needed his help.

For Max, all bets are off when he realizes Fiona is single. He wants her in his life, and knows that sometimes you have to make up when you've done wrong. For Fiona, her life is turned upside down with Max there, and her memories of being with him won't leave her alone. The question is, will they give into the attraction and more that still exists? Will Max really stay now that he owns his own construction company?

This is an intense story that deals with healing the past and moving forward. It's a story about making a fresh start and listening to others. Arianna Hart has made an erotic story that shows how the past can be amended by facing the wrongs done and rectifying them. If you want a story that takes you to the edge and gives you a satisfying ending, you'll find it with The Lone Wolf Returns.
